Would love to have a nice hot cuppa with whoever is around. With my birthday today in mind, I baked myself some chocolate brownie yesterday. It's pretty yummy, very rich and decadent 😊.
I just sliced some up to share all round 🍫🍪, something for you to have with your cuppa today. Enjoy 💕

Hi. How does this work? (I'm new here.) Like what does "a chat" mean? Do we be brutally honest about how were feeling, or is this polite conversation where we all say we're "fine" when we're not?
I'm okay with whatever the answer is, I just need to know how honest I'm allowed to be.

And by "brutally" I don't mean that I'm going to be mean to others, but that when I really about my feelings I'm not messing around to make everyone feel comfortable by giving the "were saying we're all okay when we're not" answer.

Hello everyone.
I hope Hannah stayed clear of the chocolate brownies @Shaz51@Emelia8 , chocolate doesn't agree with dogs.
The half moon was nice tonight on my twilight walk.

Very true @Dimity😃 so no, Hannah missed out on the choc brownie for arvo tea. She got some yoghurt and carob treats instead 🐕💕 and was happy with that.
